Re: Run Free Little Nugget
He was trapped in his tiny ill body and needed to be set free - You gave him freedom and relief. It was the only choice, it's just like how you see a hamster trapped under a rock and you knew that by lifting it, he would be able to run free, safe from pain and fear. You appreciated every day you had with Nugget and that was the best gift you could give him.
I'm not sure if you're the type to get another hamster soon, but maybe you could (of course, only if you wanted to). Not to replace Nugget, but to honour him. To pass on the gift and love that you have, to another of his kind, so that another hamster will be able to benefit from living out his legacy, in his memory.
Nugget didn't suffer at all because you gave him the gift of a lifetime's love and you freed him when he was trapped. He would have wanted to see you happy.
Hugs.
